Hi there! My name is Lucas, I'm seventeen and I live in Cuiabá, the Central-West region of Brazil, therefore my native language is Portuguese. I've learnt English for almost a year now and am using it daily, listening, watching and reading English stuff as much as I can. Also, I've tried some German and Swedish, but am failing in both.

 

Great job! Your English is very good. We don't use the word "therefore" in normal conversation - mostly only in scholarly writing.

"Therefore" seems too much formal on this context, indeed. But, Raphael (in Brazil we would call you "Rafa" xD), immersing yourself into the language is essential. Use it on a daily basis. Soon you'll see the results. Moreover, thank you guys for the aid. :-)

Yes, "therefore" is perfectly grammatically correct! In the United States, at least, it would sound strange. I didn't think about formality differences with other English-speaking areas. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi Raphael, I think it depends on where you live, but I use the word "therefore" fairly commonly (both in the UK and in Hong Kong). Or maybe my English is a bit more formal. But either ways, I suppose using "so" would be more casual. :)

Erin is correct, it would be better to replace "therefore" with "so", but it's perfectly grammatically correct regardless! I have to say, your English is fantastic for only a year's study! Maybe it's because you're fairly young? I hope so, as that would be very encouraging for me! xD
